Abstract: This invention relates to bispecific antibodies having combinations of linker and hinge sequences to create linker-hinge interface domains with biological significance. Such linker-hinge interface domains covalently join two molecules, maintain the biological activities of linked molecules (target binding), stabilize the biological characteristics of new molecule (solubility and 4° C. stability), maintain the chemical, biochemical and physical properties (cytotoxicity) of the linked molecules, and modulate the biological characteristics of the linked molecules (activating T-lymphocytes without significant sign of proliferations). Both linker (GGGGS) and hinge (CPPCP) sequences are required to establish functional linker-hinge interface domains as deletion of any of the component resulted in significant lost of T-lymphocyte mediated activity.

Abstract: Cathepsin S inhibitors having formula (I), (II), (III) or (IV) as shown in the specification. These inhibitors can be used to treat cancer and autoimmune/inflammatory diseases.

Abstract: This invention relates to microfluidic chips for and their applications in acquiring sperms with high velocity and/or motility. The microfluidic chip comprises an inlet region, a first flow channel, a divergent channel, an optional block structure with rounded corners and one or more outlet region(s). The invention mimics sperm activation process in body and designs a microfluidic chip mimicking the activation process so that higher amount of populations and/or subpopulations of sperms with high motility can be acquired.
